Chicago at San Jose

Chicago has not been dominant on defense this season at #16 in goals allowed, and last in penalty killing. They are in first place but this is a tough situational spot - its fifth straight road game of a seven-game trek. They looked road weary the last game, a 5-0 loss at Edmonton. San Jose is third in the NHL in goals allowed and penalty killing. They play the second of a five-game homestand, off a 4-0 win over New Jersey. The Sharks made the Stanley Cup finals last spring and go with goalie Martin Jones, who is 5-2-0 with a 1.58 goals-against average at SAP Center this season. The Sharks are on a 13-5 run at home, as well as 83-38 when their opponent allows five goals or more the last game. The home team is also 16-6 in the last 22 meetings. Play San Jose.
